Okay, this smoothie doesn't look too green now does it? Berries and greens blended up equal brown. Although the color may not look too appetizing, the flavor is amazing! My 4-year old twin boys drink it with a straw. They now race to see who is done first.

We like to roast a whole, organic chicken on occasion for family meals.

You’ll love this simple, gluten-free flatbread recipe so much it will likely become a staple in your home! It is made entirely from soaked gluten-free whole grains....no flours! The grains are soaked overnight, which increases their digestibility and nutritional profile, blended, and then POURED onto hot baking stones or cast iron skillets. No more wrestling with sticky dough or batter! This recipe makes two flatbreads.

Today we have another guest post from a fellow blogger and friend, Hallie Klecker, who has created an amazingly simple and nutritious "cheesecake" recipe for a mini muffin pan.

A few weeks ago, the night before Valentine's Day, my daughters asked me to make cupcakes and frosting to give out to their friends at school. I had an idea to make a healthy frosting using almond butter and coconut oil. Thinking that I needed to chill the frosting for a while before spreading it onto the cupcakes, I made it first.

Lacto-fermented vegetables are cultured vegetables. You've probably heard of sauerkraut, kim chi, and sour dill pickles, right? These are all forms of lacto-fermentation. Many people use whey as a starter but it is not necessary as long as you use enough salt.

Using mashed, ripe bananas in recipes is a simple and nourishing way to replace sugar. I've used it before in my sugar-free, grain-free Carob Banana Bars and in these lovely Teff Pancakes. My four-year-old twins have been eager to cook lately—and if I don’t jump in quickly, they take over and start cooking on their own. Hmm… I have no idea where they get that from! Most recently, cookies have been on their minds.

I don't think I've shared a beef recipe yet on this blog. Beef is a concentrated source of protein, minerals, fats, and vitamins. For the deficient person, beef can be extremely beneficial.

Seaweed? Yep, that's right, those beautiful vegetables that grow in the ocean. They're really quite tasty! I realized recently that I had not yet highlighted this wonderful, mineral-rich plant. Did you know that sea vegetables offer a concentrated source of trace minerals, particularly iodine? Iodine is needed to make thyroid hormone.

The marriage of chocolate and bananas is truly divine. This bread is light, yet rich with chunks of sweet banana melting in your mouth with every bite. Have a slice as a mid-afternoon snack or an after-dinner treat, however, our favorite is always fresh out of the oven!
